<P>
<B>tixMwm<I> option <I>pathName ?args? </I></B>
<P>
</pre><H3>COMMAND OPTIONS</H3>
<P>
<DL>
<DT> <B>tixMwm decoration <I>pathName</I></B> ?option? ?value? ?...? 
</I></B>
<DD> When no options are given, this command returns the values of all the
decorations options for the toplevel window with the <I>pathName</I></B>.

When only one option is given without specifying the value, the
current value of that option is returned.

When more than one "option value" pairs are passed to this command,
the specified values will be assigned to the corresponding options. As
a result, the appearance of the Motif decorations around the toplevel
window will be changed.

Possible options are: <B>-border</B></I>, <B>-menu</B></I>, <B>-maximize</B></I>,
<B>-minimize</B></I>, <B>-resizeh</B></I> and <B>-title</B></I>. The value must be a
Boolean value. The values returned by this command are undefined when
the window is not managed by mwm.
</DL>
<DL>
<DT> <B>tixMwm ismwmrunning <I>pathName</I></B>
</I></B>
<DD> This returns true if mwm is running on the screen where the specified
window is located, false otherwise.
</DL>
<DL>
<DT> <B>tixMwm protocol <I>pathName
</I></B>
<DD> When no additional options are given, this command returns all
protocols associated with this toplevel window.
</DL>
<DL>
<DT> <B>tixMwm protocol <I>pathName <B>activate<I> protocol_name</I></B>
</DL>
<DL>
<DT> <B>tixMwm protocol <I>pathName <B>add<I> protocol_name menu_message</I></B>
</I></B>
<DD> Add a new mwm protocol message for this toplevel window. The
message is identified by the string name specified in
specified by <I>menu_message</I></B>. Once a new mwm protocol message is
added to a toplevel, it can be catched by the TK <B>wm protocol</B></I>
command. Here is an example:
</DL>
<pre><code><code><code>
 tixMwm protocol . add MY_PRINT_HELLO \\
     {"Print Hello"  _H Ctrl&lt;Key&gt;H}
 wm protocol . MY_PRINT_HELLO {puts Hello}
</code></code></code></pre>
<DL>
<DT> <B>tixMwm protocol <I>pathName <B>deactivate<I> protocol_name</I></B>
</DL>
<DL>
<DT> <B>tixMwm protocol <I>pathName <B>delete<I> protocol_name</I></B>
</I></B>
<DD> window manager protocol handler associated with this protocol (by the
<B>wm protocol</B></I> command) is not deleted automatically. You have to
delete the protocol handle explicitly.  E.g.:
</DL>
<pre><code><code><code>
 tixMwm protocol . delete MY_PRINT_HELLO
 wm protocol . MY_PRINT_HELLO {}
</code></code></code></pre>
<P>
</pre><H3>BUGS</H3>
On some versions of Mwm, the <B>-border</B></I> will not disappear unless
<B>-resizeh</B></I> is turned off. Also, the -title will not disappear
unless all of <B>-title</B></I>, <B>-menu</B></I>, <B>-maximize</B></I> and
<B>-minimize</B></I> are turned off.
